Rita vs Jade: Reets wins the fight for the biggest brows, but Jade takes the lushest lips crown
As the twenty-third member of the Sugababes (or so it seemed), we'd never really paid much attention to Jade Ewen.
But we certainly sat up and took notice of the Splash! star last night after she seemingly hit back at comments made by Rita Ora on Twitter, writing: "Some manage to sleep their way to success."
Let's recap. In an interview with London's Evening Standard earlier this month, RIP singer Rita reflected on the time she auditioned for Eurovision: Your Country Needs You, the show that Jade eventually went on to win.
"I was 16. Andrew Lloyd Webber was there," she said. "Right from the start I was, like, “What am I doing here?"
"I did my song and walked out. No one knew what to do. They started looking for me, calling my agent.
Now that Rita's, like, super famous, she can wear horrendous outfits like this

"Imagine! If I’d stayed, it would probably have been all over for me. At best, I’d be a contestant on that diving show, Splash!"
Just like Jade, then. OUCH.
We should also point out that Reet backhandedly followed up her comment with "I love that show," but it was too late. Eurovision and Splash! star Jade had already taken the bait.
Without actually naming who her tweet was directed at, Jade tweeted: "Easy to mock when you are enjoying success. Eurovision and Splash? Proud of both. Some manage to sleep their way to success some have morals."
TOUCHE!
Jade made a splash on, erm, Splash!
ITV
This isn't the first time that someone's got angry on Twitter after a run in with Rita.
After their reported year-long relationship came to an end, Rob Kardashian unfollowed Rita on Twitter, and then went on QUITE a rant.
He wrote: "Disgusted a woman could give up her body to more than 20 dudes in less than a year while trying to start a career.
"How can a woman who is so busy trying to start her own career have time to be with so many dudes all while in a relationship?!
"She cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes while we were together I wonder how many she will sleep with now that we apart?"

She tweeted: ‘Easy to mock when you are enjoying success. Eurovision and splash? Proud of both Some manage to sleep their way to success some have morals,’ adding afterwards: ‘ ’#justsayin.’
Jade Ewen has hit back at Rita Ora on Twitter in sensational style following the singer’s comments about her career, saying: “some people sleep their way to the success, some have morals.”
The row began after Ora seemingly had a dig about Jade in a recent interview.
During said chat the star said she was “glad” she didn’t eventually enter the Eurovision Song Contest in the end, as at 16 she’d initially auditioned for Andrew Lloyd Webber on the show “Eurovision: Your Country Needs You!” but she quit before finding out if she’d made the final cut.
“I was 16. Andrew Lloyd Webber was there. Right from the start I was, like, ‘What am I doing here?’ said Rita.
“I did my song and walked out. No-one knew what to do. They started looking for me, calling my agent.”
“Imagine! If I’d stayed, it would probably have been all over for me. At best, I’d be a contestant on that diving show…?’ Splash!? Yeah, Splash! I love that show.”
As you all know, before Sugababes Jade won “Eurovision: Your Country Needs You!” and went onto sing for the UK at the contest but didn’t win. She then subsequently went on to appear in the Tom Daley fronted reality show ‘Splash!’ recently.
Though Rita didn’t specifically cite Jade’s name, it’s pretty obvious her remarks were aimed at her and it seems as though the Sugababe caught wind of the interview so took to Twitter to say:
“Easy to mock when you are enjoying success. Eurovision and splash? Proud of both Some manage to sleep their way to success some have morals.”
She added: “#justsayin”
One thing’s for sure, Rita certainly isn’t the kind of girl to take this kind of thing lying down so it’s over to her really…
“Hello and howay and welcome to the first meeting of The Unofficial Holly Hagan Club,” says Holly Hagan, banging a gavel and addressing an almost empty room containing only her and Sugababe Jade Ewen. “The first point of order is slagging Rita Ora right off on the Twitter.”
And so Jade Ewen has slagged Rita Ora right off on the Twitter. The former Eurovision singer and current Sugababe has today responded to comments Rita made earlier this week, where she imagined where she would have ended up career-wise had she taken up the chance to represent Britain at Eurovision in 2009.
Here is Rita Ora dressed as a mouse. What are you going to do about it.
Ora
“Imagine!” she imagined. “If I’d have stayed, it would probably have been all over for me. At best, I’d be a contestant on that diving show. Splash!? Yeah, Splash! I love that show.” We all love that show, Rita. We all love that show.
But Jade Ewen – who won the Andrew Lloyd-Webber organized star search in 2009 after Rita dropped out and also was in Splash! – has defended her career choices in what the kids are calling a ‘tweet’.
Twoot
“Easy to mock when you are enjoying success,” she said, tweetingly. “Eurovision and splash? Proud of both.”
And then she managed to claim her membership card to The Unofficial Holly Hagan Club with her follow-up: “Some manage to sleep their way to success some have morals.”
It’s not the first time that anyone has questioned Rita’s morals on Twitter. Actually, we’re just checking our spreadsheet, and it’s not even the second time. Rita’s ex- Rob Kardashian tweeted then deleted a very pointed rant about her in the aftermath of their break-up, while head of The Unofficial Holly Hagan Club (Holly Hagan) managed to whip up a full-blown Twitter spat with the star. Who will be next? We don’t know. But we basically can’t wait.

Jade Ewen has hit back at Rita Oraafter the R.I.P. singer appeared to make a dig at her while talking about quittingEurovision in an interview. As we previously reported, Ora seemed to mock Ewen when explaining how she left show Eurovision: Your Country Needs You! at the age of 16, telling the Evening Standard she's glad she walked away from the contest. Rita stated: "Imagine! If I'd stayed, it would probably have been all over for me. At best, I'd be a contestant on that diving show…?' Splash!? Yeah, Splash! I love that show."
Jade, who represented the UK at Eurovision in 2009 and then appeared on Splash! earlier this year, has since responded to Rita's remarks, stating on Twitter that she's "proud" of her past achievements.
The Sugababes star tweeted: "Easy to mock when you are enjoying success. Eurovision and splash? Proud of both Some manage to sleep their way to success some have morals."
Meow! Rita is yet to comment on Ewen's post.
Sugarbabe (or should that be ex-Sugarbabe? We have no idea if they're still going) Jade Ewen has accused Rita Ora of 'sleeping her way to success' after the singer seemed to mock her role on ITV show Splash!.
In a recent interview with The Evening Standard, Rita spoke about her decision to quit telly show 'Your Country Needs You!'in 2009, which saw singers compete to represent the UK in Eurovision.
"If I’d stayed, it would probably have been all over for me," she said. "At best, I’d be a contestant on that diving show…? Splash!? Yeah, Splash! I love that show."
Not so bad you might think - apart from the fact that Jade went on to win the very same show - and er, appear in Spash!. Awkward.
Clearly taking the comments personally, Jade hit back on Twitter, arguing that she is 'proud' of her achievements.
"Easy to mock when you are enjoying success," she wrote. "Eurovision and splash? Proud of both Some manage to sleep their way to success some have morals [sic]"
WOW. That's quite a hefty allegation there Jadey. Over to Rita.
What do you make of all this? Watch this video of Rita's 'Your Country Needs You' audition while you compose an answer...

Just a quick one as requested. Sorry for neglecting my twitter.
So much to say and no idea how to start.
I wish it were as simple as those who treated people well, who were passionate and who had ability were rewarded with success.
Unfortunately it doesn't always go that way.
Thanks to all of my lovely twitter family.. this is for you guys..
I love you more than you know.

They had the judges in fits of giggles on Sunday evening when Sylvain Longchambon said: ‘I’ve been hard with her all week.’
But after the show it looked like Sylvain was being far from hard with Samia Ghadie while they hung out at the bar.
The skating partners were spotted with their arms around each other as they relaxed following their impressive performance as Barbie and Ken.
Holding on tight: Samia Ghadie and Sylvain Longchambon enjoyed a hug in the bar after their performance on Dancing On Ice on Sunday
Looking as close as the famous plastic dolls, the couple, who deny they are anything more than just good friends, looked more
The French skater put his arm around the Coronation Street actress’ neck while pulling her in close.
The 30-year-old seemed more than happy to reciprocate as she leaned into him with her arm around his waist.
Barbie and Ken: Despite denying they are in a relationship Samia and Sylvain looked particularly close
In sync: The skating partners seemed more than comfortable with each other as they left the studio
Dressed in a pair of skintight leather-looking trousers, Samia showed off her toned legs, which she accentuated further with a pair of heeled boots.
Adding a touch of glamour she wore a sparkly top and a chic blazer, while her hair was tied back in a high and messy ponytail.
Her dancing partner looked far more casual in a pair of blue jeans with a long sleeved top and a sleeveless black padded jacket.
Sexy: Samia showed off her figure in a pair of skintight black leather trousers and a sparkly top
Car share: Samia couldn't hide her smile as she got into the car with the French skater
Happy: Beth Tweddle looked happy to still be in the competition as she left with Sugababe Heidi Range
Their cosy appearance came after their performance on Dancing On Ice earlier in the evening.
Sylvain inadvertently made the sexual innuendo about being ‘hard’ on his partner after he and Samia had earned their highest score so far in the competition.
Samia agreed adding: 'Yeh he has he’s been angry Ken.'
Pals: Nicola McLean was spotted hanging out with her formed CBB co-star Gareth Thomas
Celebrate: The contestants and their friends all looked like they were in the mood to party after the show
While the pair seemed unaware of the innuendo, the panel were left in fits of giggles and even host Philip Schofield couldn't help but laugh.
The couple had earned 27 points from the judges after dancing to Aqua's track Barbie Girl where Samia had proved that she can skate on her own.
After their performance all judges heaped praise on the pair with Karen telling the pair: 'You proved two things tonight, yes you can skate by yourself, and, yes you deserve to be in this competition.'
Support: Shona McGarty was seen arriving at the hotel after supporting her man Matt Lapinskas
Great performance: Their closeness on and off the ice seems to be helping them do well in the competition
While Ora didn't aim her remarks at any one person in particular, former Sugababe Jade Ewen came 5th in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest and went on to be a contestant on 'Splash', so took Ora's comments to heart and hit back at her on social networking site, Twitter.
Writing on her page earlier today (February 26), Ewen explained: "Easy to mock when you are enjoying success. Eurovision and splash? Proud of both Some manage to sleep their way to success some have morals. #justsayin."
Ewen's fans reacted excitedly to her message, with one replying: "I love you for this Jade Ewen."

Rita Ora auditioning @ Eurovision: Your country needs you 2009
Published Monday, Feb 25 2013, 18:09 GMT | By Sam Rigby
Rita Ora has revealed that she is glad she did not represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2009.
The 'Radioactive' singer auditioned for Eurovision: Your Country Needs You! in front of Andrew Lloyd Webber but left before hearing whether she had made it through, the London Evening Standard reports.
"I was 16. Andrew Lloyd Webber was there," Ora recalled. "Right from the start I was, like, 'What am I doing here?'
"I did my song and walked out. No-one knew what to do. They started looking for me, calling my agent."
Ora has since gone on to achieve huge success, with two Brit Award nominations at this year's ceremony and three UK number one singles in the last 12 months. Her debut album Ora also reached number one in the UK.
The singer believes that her decision to leave the 2009 audition was definitely the right choice.
"Imagine! If I'd stayed, it would probably have been all over for me. At best, I'd be a contestant on that diving show…?'Splash!? Yeah, Splash! I love that show."
The comments appear to be referring to Jade Ewen, who eventually won the competition and represented the UK at the 2009 contest in Moscow. She appeared on the ITV diving series earlier this year.
Ora has also spoken out about being mentored by Roc Nation boss Jay-Z.
"The best thing Jay-Z ever taught me was patience," she admitted. "Find out what you are and what you want to write about. He's like the best older brother a girl could ever have."
She also added that Jay-Z and wife Beyoncé are "so in love" with each other.
"They made me believe that true love really does exist," she said.
Rita stated: "Imagine! If I'd stayed, it would probably have been all over for me. At best, I'd be a contestant on that diving show…?' Splash!? Yeah, Splash! I love that show."
